Microsoft to shut down Windows App Studio from 1st December

Microsoft had today posted a blog on their website stating that they would be shutting down their Windows app making service “Windows App Studio” after 1st December 2017. Windows App Studio is a service from Microsoft for creating simple apps for Windows 10. Microsoft also said that they are shutting it down for the favour if their Windows Template Studio service that is available in the Visual Studio. The Template Studio will work the same way or rather say it is much better than the App Studio but you will need the Visual Studio for creating Windows 10 apps through this new service. Template studio is an open source service that can be downloaded as well.
